The statutory redundancy notices as required by law are to be issued to the 50+ staff in December.
That's interesting. Where did you get this information from?
1. 50+ staff don't work in the clubhouse and/or the hangar.
2. The majority of the staff work in the Engineering facility, Flight School, fuel pumps and airfield grounds.
3. Nothing that Peel are doing wrt the Planning Permission directly affects Flight School, ground or engineering operations.
The email containing this quote infers that LAC are set to shut up shop. lock stock and barrel. I don't see any evidence of that in LAC's information releases (or indeed in annoucements from Peel or the Council).
It WILL be interesting to see what happens to the (mainly PFA-type) aircraft in the Harbit hangar. Or indeed to the residents of No.2 hangar, who will, at the very least be rather inconvenienced by all that demolition and building work.
Then there's the clubhouse. In the past when refurbs were carried out on the clubhouse, business was transferred to portakabins, and I'm sure this could be achieved once more, with no significant loss of staff positions, given some decent planning and organisation.
But if I were Peel, I'd be thinking how I could get money out of them for as long as possible until my new erections were erected & my new facilities were in place..... and then I'd be thinking how can I maximise income from them ASAP...
